THURSDAY APRIL 26, 1990 – THURSDAY MAY 24, 1990

In 1986, the Art Commission of the city of New York forged a partnership between the Public Art Fund and the 14th Street-Union Square Local Development Corporation in an attempt to solicit new design proposals for the city’s newsstands. In an effort to provide the City with innovative design alternatives, the Public Art Fund’s Project Committee decided to sponsor a design competition involving artists and architects. The goal of the competition was to create prototypical newsstand designs providing tangible alternatives to the standard boxes. Designs from over 20 artist/ architect teams were reviewed; Three proposals were selected and exhibited at the Storefront as Part I of Post-Consumerism. Part II, Designs and Ideas for the Waste Stream, exhibited ten proposals for managing garbage, or the urban ‘waste stream’, and its distribution through public spaces.
